Dairy is completely unnecessary, for one. Its prominence on the plate makes everything else immediately suspect. There are probably some axes along which a glass of milk or cup of (unsweetened) yogurt is one reasonable option but that's not what is being promoted here.
I wouldn’t reduce food to some stupid equational graphic. Instead I would work to try to regain trust by cracking the whip on these companies for once, whether it’s their prices, the quality of their products, their advertising, or all of the above. Our diets deserve more respect and that’s the reason RFK has an audience. He’s speaking to people who believe that. There can be better leaders than him, but at least he’s doing something!
I just told you: it's made by food industry interests and is ultimately divorced from actual nutrition science.
And I'm asking what would be different if you had to make a basic graphic based on nutritional science vs the My Plate graphic.

How about critiquing the actual recommendation instead of the people?
I find Diary to be completely unnecessary and was paid for by the diary industry.
Absolutely. The human body was not meant to process the milk of other animals.
What was it meant to process? Why have some of us evolved tolerance for lactose?
